Lacking will during cricket match, scoffed (9)
I believe the answer is:
intestate
'lacking will' is the definition.
'during cricket match scoffed' is the wordplay.
'during' becomes 'in' (e.g. during February means in February).
'cricket match' becomes 'test' (a test is a kind of cricket match).
'scoffed' becomes 'ate' ('to scoff' is to eat).
'in'+'test'+'ate'='INTESTATE'
(Other definitions for intestate that I've seen before include "One without will" , "Unwilling" , "Dying thus, one leaves no will" , "not prepared to die" , "Dying thus, one has left no will" .)
